My mixed media paintings, inspired by folk art, mythology, symbols, and nature, focus on the fine balance of extremes and everyday observations of life. My paintings contain images both figurative and botanical, while the surfaces retain lush colors and a rich weathered texture. I incorporate printmaking, collage, pattern, and text into the process, creating contemporary icons through a variety of media. I consider my work a meditation on the common threads interwoven throughout time.

ABOUT

“Sandra is a rare bird of contemporary art. She is exceptional in everything–timeless, ethereal, delicate, innocent and sensual at the same time, uncommonly original. Her chords of color are of an unmatched refinement: A smorgasbord. Paganini on the violin.”Angel Muriel Artist

ARTIST STATEMENT

the circleThe images in my work evolve from an observation of our physical world and my internal thoughts. Archetypes, Icons and mythological figures share space with childlike scrawls, poetry and graphic images. Interwoven, these elements convey a multilayered content partnered on a scarred yet sensuous surface.I paint, etch and draw both abstracted and figurative elements onto my panels. I like to combine techniques and play with mixed media. My work evolves spontaneously and intuitively and I welcome happy accidents.Taken for granted in the enormity of a falling leaf, a spoken word, the transience of life.
My work explores the reflections of duality: the connection between the past and the present, the beauty and the mystery of existence, the fluctuation and the balance of never ending cycles.
